Description

The Rise and Fall of America's Most Powerful Mafia Empires For half a century, the American Mafia outwitted and outmanoeuvred law enforcement, causing significant damage to America's social fabric and business enterprises. This vivid history chronicles the rise and fall of New York's premier Mafia families, from their most potent leaders to their eventual decline. The story is one of power struggles, corruption, and the ongoing struggle between the Mafia and law enforcement. The book brings the reader right up to date with the possible resurgence of the Mafia as the focus of law enforcement shifts towards homeland security. This updated tenth-anniversary edition features a new preface by the author, providing fresh insights into the world of organized crime. With 816 pages, this paperback edition offers a comprehensive look at the history of the American Mafia, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in true crime and the history of organized crime in the United States.
